Jasper Fforde's cult bestseller, re-recorded to celebrate the publication of the long-awaited sequel RED SIDE STORY.

Imagine a black and white world where colour is a commodity . . . It is a world invented by comic and creative genius - and Number One bestseller - Jasper Fforde.

Hundreds of years in the future, the world is an alarmingly different place.

Life is lived according to The Rulebook and social hierarchy is determined by your perception of colour. Eddie Russett is an above average Red who dreams of moving up the ladder by marriage to Constance Oxblood. Until he is sent to the Outer Fringes where he meets Jane - a lowly Grey with an uncontrollable temper and a desire to see him killed.

For Eddie, it's love at first sight. But his infatuation will lead him to discover that all is not as it seems in a world where everything that looks black and white is really shades of grey ...

If George Orwell had tripped over a paint pot or Douglas Adams favoured colour swatches instead of towels, neither of them would have come up with anything as eccentrically brilliant as Shades of Grey.

*** COMING SOON - continue the adventures of Eddie and Jane in the eagerly awaited RED SIDE STORY -
pre-order now! **

This is the story of Edward Russet, a young man on the verge of becoming a full member of society; a society which works along strict rules and makes sure everyone stays in their place and act according to their role.
So far this might seem like a story you have read or listened to a hundred times. But believe me: It‘s not!
Edward stumbles into a series of events which he at first isn‘t able to control. Bit by bit Edward learns about the secrets of the world he lives in and comes to question his understanding of the world. Why are people sent for reboot to Emerald City on the night train? Why is an Apocryphal Man living in Edward’s attic? Who is the second secret lodger in his house? Why is it prohibited to produce any more spoons?
The characters really come to life in this audio book - and I love to hear my favourite author‘s voice as well.

One of my all-time favourite (audio) books

I generally like Fforde's books and this one is no exception. While pretty dystopian, it is so witty and ironic that it's still an easy read (or listen, really). I love Fforde's originality - he paints a picture of a different world (this one based on colour) unlike any I've ever read about. The story starts of somewhat slow, but since I enjoyed the world building so much, I didn't mind. However, if you are you looking for fast-paced action, it's definitely not for you. I also enjoyed the narrator's performance! He brings out the dry humour perfectly.

fun and disturbing

Schon wieder eine schräge Utopie von Fjjorde. Die Regeln und Hierarchie der Post-Apokalyptischen Welt spiegelt man seltsame Denkweisen der heutigen Welt wider. Sehr gut umgesetzt durch den Sprecher.

super Utopie

So glad this is finally available as an audiobook.
Jane Eyre 1984, brilliant story, go for it.
Such a pitty the title name got overshadowed...

The true "Shades of Grey".

Fantastic world building, a truly dystopic society, suspence-loaded until the end. Loved it! I am afraid of book 3 because book 2 wrapped it up so nicely.

Fantastic new world
